README File for "A Network Approach to Economic Models of Fertility" by Youm, Yoosik and Byungkyu Lee, Rationality and Society, forthcoming (2016), doi: 10.1177/1043463116658867.

This file contains Stata Do files and R codes to reproduce all figures and tables appeared in the paper "A Network Approach to Economic Models of Fertility". The original data set are not included here -- which are publicly available --  but can be downloaded at:

    KLOWF - Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families : 1st,2nd,3rd wave
    -- downloadable at http://klowf.kwdi.re.kr/eng/content/data/guidance.jsp (last accessed on 23 January 2015).
    -- klowf01p(0421).sav, klowf01h(0421).sav, klowf02p(0421).sav, klowf03p(0421).sav 

We included one data file (klowf_analytic.dta) which is generated by running RS_KLoWF_Data Setup.do, which later will be used to replicate all tables and figures. Also, data for replication of Figure 1 was downloaded at https://data.oecd.org/pop/fertility-rates.htm (last accessed on 20 November 2015), which we also include (OECD_fertility.csv file). 

If you set up the working directory containing the data file in Do-files or R codes, then you can produce following figures and tables by running the corresponding Stata do-files and R codes. 

Main -----------------------------------------
Table 1 -- RS_KLoWF_Analysis.do
Table 2 -- RS_KLoWF_Analysis.do

Figure 1 -- OECD_fertility.csv file + RS_KLoWF_Figure.R 
Figure 2 -- RS_KLoWF_Analysis.do + RS_KLoWF_Figure.R
Figure 3 -- RS_KLoWF_Analysis.do + RS_KLoWF_Figure.R

Program Version Information : 
-- Stata 14 SE
-- R 3.2.2 

If you have any question on these files or fail to reproduce any of figures or tables, then please direct correspondence to Byungkyu Lee (byungkyu.lee@columbia.edu).
